These include new development schemes for private or public
sector clients, new houses for individual clients or extensions
and renovations to existing houses.
The Skye Office has developed a particular specialism for
new houses in the Countryside, achieving recognition in the
APRS Award 1992 for a new house at Gesto and having work
featured in a wide variety of books, periodicals and publications.
In 1997, a new house at Ebost was voted by readers of 'Country
Living' magazine as the best new house in the Scottish countryside.
Other houses have appeared in 'Country Life', 'The Times',
'Tomorrow's Architectural Heritage' and the new 'National
Policy for Architecture' published by the Scottish Executive.
During 1997, the Skye Office was one of only 24 practices
throughout Scotland, chosen and listed by the UK based magazine
'Perspectives in Architecture' as a centre of excellence
in Design.
Wittets timber-framed houses in the Countryside have also
been featured in Government publications such as Planning
Advice Note 36, 'Fields of Vision' and 'Timber framed houses
in the Scottish Countryside', in many newspapers and local
Government Design Guides.
Our policy is simple: Don't design anything in the
Countryside that an Artist wouldn't want to paint!
